change the cap and rotor arm for genuine toyota parts. plugs, depends on your setup really. and leads. alot of people use magnecor, but any decent set of leads will do. standard genuine toyota leads are very good.

plugs for standard car and mildly tuned = bkr6ep-11

plugs for running 1 bar or more bkr7eix (these can also be used instead of the standard plugs above)

for heavily modified ask your tuner to recomend a heat range.

as for leads TRD ones are extremely good.

if not them, then magnecore ones will suffice

Plugs- A member on here recently mentioned he took some hks plugs out as the car wouldnt start with them. A respected member of the site also commented in the thread that in his opinion those so called tuning plugs from HKS etc are nothing but trouble. Ive personally been running NKG Iridium plugs since I got my car and never had an issue.

Leads- To say uprated leads are a waste of time is rediculous. Given that the car will not run without a spark.. the better insulated the lead the less interferance with outher electrics such as stereo and also the stronger the spark.
Tooler had the 8.5mm Magnecor leads on his car and actually made more torque when he put 8mm leads on as I recall from a thread on the old site. I personally use 8mm Magnecor leads and they are fine. Also the trader Speedvision is selling replacement leads at a good price.
